"Mr. Banjo, I really have no relationship with Rize. We are simply book club friends," Kaneki Ken explained clearly.
"Is that so? Then I am truly sorry! My behavior just now was terribly rude!" Banjo bowed deeply to Kaneki Ken, almost prostrating himself—it was an extremely respectful gesture.
This startled Kaneki Ken, but he also realized that Banjo was actually a very kind-hearted {Ghoul}.
So Kaneki Ken quickly helped him up and said, "It’s okay, it’s okay! I know you care about Rize very much!"
"Kaneki! Can you tell me where Miss Rize is now? I really hope to see her as soon as possible!" After being pulled up, Banjo asked. Although Kaneki wasn’t Rize’s man, Banjo could tell from his words and attitude that they knew each other, so he believed Kaneki would know her whereabouts.
Looking at Banjo’s eyes filled with hope, Kaneki Ken ultimately couldn’t bring himself to tell him that Rize was dead. Instead, he said, "Rize is no longer in Ward 20!"
Hearing this answer, Banjo looked extremely disappointed and sighed, "I see... That makes sense. Miss Rize has always been such a free spirit!"
"I’m sorry, Mr. Banjo. I couldn’t help you," Kaneki said apologetically, then stood up to help clean up the shop, as it was almost closing time.
The sun would soon set completely, and night would fall quickly.
"Wait a moment, Kaneki!" Banjo suddenly called out to him again and said, "There is something I want to ask of you. If you see Miss Rize, please tell her to flee Tokyo as fast as she can! Preferably escape abroad!"
Kaneki stopped in his tracks, feeling confused. Flee Tokyo? Why?
"Two months ago, an organization called Aogiri Tree attacked Ward 11. After forcing the {Ghouls} there to submit, they set their sights on the Doves. The {Ghouls} of Aogiri Tree are incredibly strong. Now, almost all the Doves in Ward 11 have been hunted down and killed."
"Right now, I’m basically just running errands for them. They are currently looking for Miss Rize. I don’t know the exact reason, but I’m sure it can’t be anything good! Ward 11 has already fallen, and I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before they set their sights on Ward 20!"
"I’m not exaggerating. You guys should escape while you can too! Otherwise..."
Before Banjo could finish his sentence, a person suddenly jumped down from the roof of Anteiku Coffee Shop and landed on the flower bed outside. Immediately after, that person kicked and shattered the large glass window near the counter.
This sudden interruption silenced Banjo. Just as he was about to turn his head to look at the source of the noise, the intruder delivered a powerful kick straight to Banjo’s shoulder, sending him crashing heavily into the bar counter.
"Mr. Banjo!" Kaneki Ken cried out in alarm, staring intently at the man who had attacked them.
